TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Power, influence, and hierarchy: defense industries in a unipolar world JO - Defence and peace economics A1 - Neuman, Stephanie G. SP - 105 EP - 134 VL - 21 IS - 1 N2 - The global defense-industrial sector reflects the hierarchy of power in the post-Cold War world. As in the larger international system, the United States plays the dominant role in the defense sector as well. It is a comparative advantage often used by US policymakers to influence the foreign policy behavior of other states. Curiously, the radical concentration of the world's defense industrial sector, as described here, has received relatively little scrutiny from either academia or the media, even though it not only reflects the international order but provides the United States with considerable leverage in it.
